I heard on the radio last night that the Akron QB broke a team rule but Bowden said that the beauty of college football is that he doesn't have to disclose if he's playing or not until gametime. That's the latest update I've heard.

Akron QB Woodson was suspended last week so he should suit up today... no injury listed. Don't forget they kept the game close last week with a backup QB on the road.
Akron also needs another win for bowl eligible so there's motivational factor... and they played close vs. Ohio last 3 years.

I laid the points with Ohio. Akron throws the ball about 54% of the time last 4 games, which is a lot compared to most teams. Ohio pass D ranked 21st according to my stats.

Ohio on the other hand, is a predominantly run oriented team - 66% rush last 4. Akron has trouble stopping the run, giving up 216 per game last 4.

It is a road game, and it is for that half of the MAC championship basically, but Akron doesn't match up well here. Also, Akron plays Kent State next weekend, so bowl eligibility will most likely be secured there.

Hats off to Akron and a very dynamic offense. Not sure if it is the "MAC factor" (where no logical handicapping makes sense sometimes on these games), a letdown off big win for Ohio, or what, that is a performance from Akron offense that was not seen all year against a stout defense. Difficult to predict something that you haven't seen happen before. Akron broke 30 against I-A opponents only twice, against Bowling Green and Ball State, the 2 worst in the MAC.
